WBEB Jimmy Rollins

Tiffany & Michael The goal of any interview with a celebrity is to humanize them from the start. Stars come on because they’re promoting something. Humanizing them makes listeners more receptive to the sales job at the end. Jimmy Rollins plays for the Philadelphia Phillies and is a huge local star. Coming on to promote his charity event, listen to the things Tiffany and Michael, B101, Philadelphia talk with him about to create fun and make him a real person.

WQYK Chemistry

January 27, 2013

Dave & Veronica The audio posted this week has been chosen for one specific reason – to show you how chemistry plays a role in creating fun and an environment listeners want to be around. Listeners can tell if the team likes each other. Here’s Dave and Veronica at WQYK, Tampa just playing around with each other when a listener called. You can’t fake chemistry. The audience knows if it’s real or not. Show your playfulness and listeners will want to wake up with you because they feel a part of your team.

WNOU Rachel at the Dentist

January 20, 2013

Kyle & Rachel The audience does want to hear about the lives of the people on the show. Especially when their experiences are very relatable. Rachel, from Kyle and Rachel, Radio NOW, Indianapolis, recently went to the dentist. To have the work done, Rachel had to get the laughing gas. They could have just talked about it. But the break got good because Kyle went along and recorded a conversation with Rachel while she was loopy. This is fun and very memorable.

WBMX Beat That

January 13, 2013

Karson & Kennedy The best ideas tend to come from real life – developing ideas from things that happen to you shift the perception from it being a “bit” to something more organic. Karson, from Karson and Kennedy, MIX 104.1, Boston, walked in on his mother-in-law while she was visiting with him, when she had no pants on. Oops! To give out some concert tickets, the show did “Beat That”, where the listener with the best story beating his won.

WZLX Scared Straight Santa

January 6, 2013

Karlson & McKenzie One of my all-time favorite holiday bits is “Scared Straight Santa” as done by Karlson and McKenzie at WZLX, Boston. In this feature, Pete McKenzie calls a kid who’s been naughty as Santa Claus to call them out. It’s after the holdiays, but the execution of this is flawless. From the fun audio segments they use up front to set the tone to the call with the kid (who was obviously having a good time with all of it), this bit has just enough attitude and fun to make people talk. Hang on to it for next year (or for July when Santa has a lot of time on his hands!).
